no change in performance after converting FAT32 to NTFS?

I dont see any change in performance and speed of windowsxp after converting the file system from FAT32 to NTFS.

The speed of internet browsing that I had before converting the file system ,is pretty same even after conversion.

The speed of internet should increase in NTFS format but why isn't it ?

Why do you think performance should increase after you convert FAT32 to NTFS? From what I heard, FAT32 is actually slightly faster than NTFS but NTFS is more secure and stable.
